 * The condition for output is that an IP is available via `get_the_ID()`. Are you
   calling a single page? This will not work for archive pages, except perhaps in
   a loop. The context in which you insert the shortcode would therefore be very
   important.

 * Besides context being important in general, shortcodes within HTML tags will 
   not be expanded as you are thinking they would be. In order to use a shortcode’s
   value within an input field, the shortcode would need to generate the entire 
   tag within it’s expanded content. For example, `[title_field]` could be expanded
   into `<input type="hidden" name="tourCode" value="A Post Title">`, assuming the
   post’s title is available via code. Success still depends on context.

 * Yes I use it in single post!
   In that page I have custom form submit, so I need
   input hidden field to keep current page or post title embed when I submit sent
   email, that I need <input type=”hidden” mane=”tourCode” value=”[get_post_title]”/
   >Any better solution?

 * WP will not “see” shortcodes within a HTML tag. As I said earlier, your shortcode
   would need to generate the entire tag, not just the field’s value.
